Yeah, a hair smaller.It is wide enough to still handle some soundstage shrinkage, but I still think it is better maximized. If you are talking a hair smaller, then who cares.

Re-post impression of First Times cableDemo'ed First Times today. Brief impression compare to bird stock cable:
- Bass slightly elevated
- Mid, especially in vocal more forwarded
- Cleaner background and more revealing a bit
- While vocal feel closer, imaging wider than stock
- Ear guide is tighter than stock cable, loop is smaller but i don't have problem with the fit
Overall, i agree they're upgrade from stock cable but not large margin IMO. Treble is the weakest part in this cable, not bad, but could be not bright enough for some people. If somehow you can get rid of stock cable (or want to keep same traits) then it's worth for you. Otherwise, stick to stock cable perfectly fine.
It's already officially announced just now.
Normal HKD $18,800 (USD $2410)
Shielding HKD $25,800 (USD 3,308)

so which cables have better treble?Re-post impression of First Times cable![]()
Centurion. But for vocal i prefer on First Times.so which cables have better treble?
Better in what sense?so which cables have better treble?
I'm looking for more treble presence and more clarity in the mids. Thinking a silver cable might be the solution for me. Anyone here tried the bird with silver?Better in what sense?
Are you looking for “more” treble presence, or “smoother and more refined” treble without detail loss?
I use Traillii with DHC Symbiote Elite 19 silver cable. Also tried Effect Audio Cleo. The first is better. With it, the headphones are great on high and in the middle. However, I can't say that these cables or silver at all can shift the sound to a high range. I've listened to a lot of silver cables and they never change that sound. But this cable give gorgeous control. Cleo is more fat. And first of all I would recommend choosing tips.I'm looking for more treble presence and more clarity in the mids.

Haven’t tried pure silver but have tried Palladium Plated silver. It was highly refined and very nuanced - transparent, in a word. It is a lighter presentation relative to stock - still clear and full in the midrange and treble but with a little more air and sparkle (at the cost of some of the weight / body).I'm looking for more treble presence and more clarity in the mids.
